| Brief Description: | One of cinema's great curiosities, this is the British version of the
feature-length animated film by the great French animator Paul
Grimault and a result of his collaboration with Jacques Prevert. Both
Grimault and Prevert disavowed the film, which Grimault later remade
in 1980 as The King and the Bird, using about half of this original
footage. Nevertheless, in England Peter Ustinov and Claire Bloom lend
their voices to this animated fantasy, which begins when an evil king
tries to thwart the path of true love. 64 mins. |
